Gần 150 năm sau khi ra đời dưới ngòi bút của nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle, thám tử Sherlock Holmes vẫn giữ nguyên sức cuốn hút mạnh mẽ. Ngoài là nguồn cảm hứng bất tận cho điện ảnh và truyền hình, nhân vật này còn trở thành một huyền thoại văn học. Tại Pháp, chỉ có các tác phẩm quan trọng hàng đầu mới được đưa vào bộ sưu tập La Bibliothèque de la Pléiade. Gần đây, nhà xuất bản Gallimard đã cho xuất bản trong tủ sách có uy tín của mình bộ toàn tập Sherlock Holmes. Tính tổng cộng là 2.500 trang chia thành 2 tập sách dày, bao gồm bốn cuốn tiểu thuyết và 60 truyện ngắn. Bộ toàn tập này được phát hành kèm với một quyển tiểu sử minh họa dày hơn 250 trang. Đây là lần đầu tiên, tủ sách La Pléiade của nhà xuất bản Gallimard dành một quyển « tiểu sử » đặc biệt, kể lại nguồn gốc của một nhân vật hư cấu cũng như những câu chuyện bên lề và tầm ảnh hưởng của Sherlock Holmes trong dòng văn hóa đại chúng. Điều mà Hercule Poirot và Miss Marple của nữ hoàn tiểu thuyết trinh thám Agatha Christie vẫn chưa thực hiện được. Tác giả quyển tiểu sử "Sherlock Holmes" là ông Baudouin Millet, giảng viên chuyên khoa Văn học Anh và Dịch thuật tại Đại học Lumière Lyon II. Trả lời phỏng vấn RFI ban tiếng Pháp, ông Baudouin Millet phác họa vài nét chính của thám tử Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes là một thiên tài có khả năng giải quyết các vấn đề trong vụ án một cách dễ dàng đến mức khó tin, thậm chí ông còn hay nói đùa, có thể làm bẽ mặt những viên thanh tra của Scotland Yard bằng những câu nói như : "Chuyện đơn giản thôi!" hoặc "Anh chẳng hiểu gì cả'', ''Bộ não của anh sao mà nhỏ bé thế''. Có người cho là Sherlock Holmes có một bộ óc xuất chúng, có tài suy luận mạch lạc sắc bén, dựa trên nền tảng logic chặt chẻ, chứ không phỏng đoán mơ hồ. Nhờ vậy, ông giải quyết được các manh mối phức tạp, phá án nhanh để tìm ra thủ phạm. Nhưng theo tôi, Sherlock Holmes có một tư tưởng cởi mở phóng khoáng thiên về nghệ thuật hơn là khoa học. Để phá án, nhân vật này không ngại phá vỡ một số quy tắc, thoát ra ngoài lối suy nghĩ cứng nhắc. Ngoài ra, lối tiếp cận của ông thường được so sánh với một nhà khoa học pháp y, vì những phương pháp giám định của ông đã báo trước các kỹ thuật hiện đại của giới cảnh sát điều tra sau này. Ngay tại căn nhà của ông ở số 221B phố Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes thường hay tiến hành thử nghiệm dùng phương pháp hóa học để đi tìm vết tích bằng chứng, nhưng đồng thời ông cũng phải biết suy luận chặt chẽ để vạch trần tâm lý kẻ phạm tội. Một thiên tài xuất chúng chưa chắc gì đã dễ sống chung. Ngay từ lần xuất hiện đầu tiên vào năm 1887 trong truyện "A Study in Scarlet" cho đến những chuyến phiêu lưu cuối cùng được xuất bản năm 1927, trong đó có vụ án nổi tiếng nhất của ông là "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1902), có thể nói Sherlock Holmes không phải là một người dễ mến với bà chủ nhà (Mrs Hudson) cũng như với người bạn và cộng sự của mình là bác sĩ John Watson. Trong truyện, Sherlock Holmes có tánh tình thay đổi khác thường. Theo tác giả Baudouin Millet, trong mắt của giới chuyên khoa tâm thần học thời nay, nhân vật tiểu thuyết này có triệu chứng của một người bị rối loạn lưỡng cực : Vâng, thuật ngữ rối loạn lưỡng cực chỉ mới được công nhận gần đây. Trước đó, giới bác sĩ từng nhắc đến chứng bệnh ''hưng trầm cảm'' cho đến những năm 1990. Dựa theo cách phân loại mới về các chứng bệnh tâm thần, các chuyên gia nói về triệu chứng rối loạn lưỡng cực khi những giai đoạn cực kỳ hưng phấn đột nhiên biến thành những khoảnh khắc vô cùng trầm cảm. Những đột biến nội tâm này thường không có dấu hiệu báo trước. Trong truyện Sherlock Holmes, câu chuyện được kể theo góc nhìn của bác sĩ Watson và dĩ nhiên ông Watson không dùng chữ rối loạn lưỡng cực vì thuật ngữ này chưa ra đời. Nhưng bác sĩ Watson lại mô tả một cách rõ ràng các triệu chứng hưng cảm rồi trầm cảm của Sherlock Holmes, đặc biệt là trong quyển sách ''The Sign of Four'' (1890). Cũng cần nói rõ, sinh thời nhà văn người Anh Arthur Conan Doyle ngoài đời là một bác sĩ và nhân vật Watson có nhiều nét giống tác giả. Không phải ngẫu nhiên mọi câu chuyện về Sherlock Holmes là do bác sĩ John Watson kể lại, nhân vậy này biết rõ các vấn đề y học. Xuyên qua các quyển tiểu thuyết, độc giả có thể thấy vị thám tử tài ba luôn phải tìm cách xoa dịu những mối dằn vặt trong nội tâm, kể cả dùng rượu mạnh hay ma túy, bất kể bác sĩ Watson có đồng ý hay không. Trong quyển tiểu sử minh họa do Gallimard xuất bản, độc giả vẫn có thể khám phá nhiều chi tiết mới trong cuộc đời của Sherlock Holmes. Nhân vật này sau mỗi lần phá án thường thốt lên câu nói : ''Elementary, my dear Watson" có nghĩa là ''Đơn giản thôi, anh bạn Watson ơi''. Nhưng theo ông Baudouin Millet, câu nói này không phải là của nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle. Chuyên gia dịch thuật văn học Anh giải thích : Sự thật là trong các tác phẩm của Arthur Conan Doyle, thám tử Sherlock Holmes chưa từng nói câu "Elementary, my dear Watson" (Đơn giản thôi, anh bạn Watson ơi). Trong truyện, ông dùng nhiều lần chữ "elementary" (chuyện đơn giản thôi) để chọc tức viên thanh tra Lestrade của Scotland Yard. Đoạn đối thoại gần giống nhất nằm trong truyện ngắn "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" (1893). Sau khi kết thúc điều tra, bác sĩ Watson thốt lên một câu ngắn gọn  "Excellent!" (Tuyệt vời!), Sherlock Holmes liền đáp lại: "Elementary" (Đơn giản thôi). Vậy thì câu nói kinh điển ''Elementary, my dear Watson) từ đâu mà có ? Thực ra, câu thoại này xuất phát từ các bản phóng tác, chuyển thể tiểu thuyết gốc thành kịch hay phim. Vào năm 1915, nhà văn hài kịch người Anh P.G. Wodehouse lần đầu tiên viết chính xác câu nói này trong một quyển tiểu thuyết hài hước châm biếm (mang tựa đề Psmith, Journalist). Bộ phim có tiếng nói "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (1929), do Clive Brook vào vai thám tử tài ba là tác phẩm đầu tiên chính thức cho thấy Sherlock Holmes dùng câu nói này trên màn ảnh lớn. Cũng nhờ vào sự thành công vượt bực của các tác phẩm điện ảnh vào những năm 1930–1940 sau đó (do Basil Rathbone đóng vai chính), câu nói này đã được gắn liền với nhân vật Sherlock Holmes cho đến tận bây giờ. Ngày nay, trong nhiều bản phóng tác truyền hình hay điện ảnh, khán giả luôn chờ đợi Sherlock Holmes thốt lên câu nói "Elementary, my dear Watson". Trong mắt công chúng, nó đã trở thành một biểu tượng chính thức cho dù tác giả Arthur Conan Doyle chưa bao giờ viết ra. Về đời sống cá nhân và quan hệ tình cảm, quyển tiểu sử cho biết tác giả Arthur Conan Doyle không tiết lộ gì nhiều về gia cảnh của Sherlock Holmes. Những chi tiết đời tư của vị thám tử, chủ yếu là do suy diễn hay bịa đặt thêm qua phim ảnh. Về mặt tình cảm, quyển tiểu sử có nhắc đến mối tình ngắn ngủi giữa Sherlock Holmes với một người phụ nữ Mỹ tên là Irene Adler, nhân vật này xuất hiện trong truyện ngắn "A Scandal in Bohemia" và từng được Sherlock yêu mến, quý trọng. Sherlock Holmes chỉ gặp Irene Adler một lần duy nhất, nhưng nhân vật này đã thay đổi cuộc đời của ông, hay ít ra cô ấy dã thay đổi quan niệm của Sherlock Holmess về phụ nữ nói chung. Trong một thời gian dài, Sherlock được mô tả như một người đàn ông ''ghét phụ nữ'' do ông sinh trưởng trong một xã hội trọng nam khinh nữ. Bác sĩ Watson không dùng từ ''ghét phụ nữ'', mà chủ yếu nói rằng Sherlock Holmes thường hay chế giễu người phụ nữ kém thông minh. Chỉ sau khi Sherlock gặp Irene Adler, ông mới bắt đầu coi trọng phụ nữ, xem họ có tài năng ngang hàng với mình, hoặc ít ra trong mắt ông, Irene Adler là một ''kỳ phùng địch thủ'' biết đi những nước cờ cao, biết dùng những chiêu bí hiểm. Tuy không công khai thừa nhận, nhưng Sherlock thầm yêu cô Irene và ông cảm thấy ghen tị với tình nhân cũ của cô là hoàng tử Bohemia. Có một điều thú vị, là nhân vật này tuy chỉ xuất hiện một lần trong truyện ngắn, nhưng sau đó lại đóng một vai trò quan trọng hơn rất nhiều, thông qua các bản phóng tác điện ảnh hay truyền hình. Thám tử Sherlock Holmes đã đem lại cho nhà văn Arthur Conan Doyle tiền tài và danh vọng, nhưng vì nhân vật này có một cái bóng quá lớn, cho nên đã che khuất phần còn lại trong sự nghiệp sáng tác của Conan Doyle. Với thời gian, Sherlock Holmes vượt ra ngoài tầm kiểm soát của tác giả, danh tiếng của vị thám tử này còn cao hơn cả người đã sinh ra mình. Có lần nhà văn Conan Doyle cho biết ông ghét Sherlock vì nhân vật này hạn chế việc phổ biến nhiều tiểu thuyết hay với những nhân vật khác, do vậy Conan Doyle  đã tìm cách ''giết'' nhân vật Sherlock trong truyện, nhưng ông lại bất thành. Quyển tiểu sử minh họa trong tủ sách Pléiade, quyển đầu tiên dành riêng cho một nhân vật hư cấu, đã thuật lại quan hệ khá phức tạp giữa Conan Doyle và Sherlock Holmes. Nhân vật huyền thoại này tiếp tục làm say mê nhiều thế hệ qua phim ảnh hay sách truyện. Đứa con tinh thần của nhà văn nổi tiếng từ lâu đã có cuộc sống riêng.

As the co-founder of Ricochet, a media network, he hosts “Martini Shot,” a long-running, bite-size showbiz podcast, as well as cohosts “GLoP Culture.” Drawing on his two comic memoirs—alongside his religious studies as a Master of Divinity student at Princeton Theological Seminary—we discuss his life in Hollywood, religious journey, and current training to become an Episcopal priest. Along the way we dig into the nature of humor, the rise and fall of the TV sitcom, the lost formation of the writer's room, what it is like to be a Hollywood conservative, how technology like streaming and AI has changed show business, the strategy for the perfect sermon, and the spiritual calling of the creative arts. Among the shows that are discussed include the Dick Van Dyke Show, Mary Tyler Moore Show, and Andy Griffith Show, plus films like Twentieth Century, A Night at the Opera, The In-Laws, and Midnight Run; along with guest appearances by Michaelangelo's Pieta, Aristotle's Poetics, Moliere, P.G. Wodehouse, P.J. O'Rourke, plus the wit of Jesus of Nazareth. Learn more about your ad choices.

While we are on a break, enjoy this episode from Season 2. Season 3 starts May 19!This week, we take on Apuleius' The Golden Ass, a hilarious surprise from Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course. Written in the mid-300s A.D., this is the very first Latin prose novel, penned by Algerian-born Apuleius. Lucius, our hero, is a young man who meddles in magic, transforms into a donkey, and embarks on wild adventures before returning to human form. We were so captivated that note-taking fell by the wayside, much like with Herodotus' Histories. This rollicking tale, brimming with late-Roman-Empire themes, proved both hilarious and profound.Unlike Aristotle's structured tragedy guidelines (see Week 5's Poetics), The Golden Ass defies unity of action, place, and time, weaving a tapestry of digressions and sub-stories. Lucius' transformation serves as a spine for tales like “I heard…” or “So they told me…,” echoing the nested narratives of The Odyssey and The Aeneid. The standout sub-story is the myth of Cupid and Psyche, the earliest known version, which stunned us as the inspiration for C.S. Lewis' Till We Have Faces. Its late appearance for a myth feels significant, reflecting a decadent, fatigued Roman worldview. Fortune, personified as in Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, reappears, underscoring this era's preoccupations.Sarah Ruden's translation is a triumph, preserving Apuleius' puns, alliteration, and bawdy humor. This farce, second only to Lysistrata in humor, is delightfully NSFW, with outrageous scenes that shocked even our son Jack. Ruden notes comparisons to modern humorists like Wodehouse or George MacDonald Fraser's Flashman series, and we see parallels to Forrest Gump—Lucius stumbles through events without driving the plot. The book's influence extends to A Confederacy of Dunces, sparking new reading threads for us, exactly why we joined this course.Join us next week as we travel east and read The Arabian Nights.LINKTed Gioia/The Honest Broker's 12-Month Immersive Humanities Course (paywalled!)

Twentieth Century (1934) is a screwball comedy that moves like a runaway train and we are delightfully tied to the tracks. John Barrymore's audacious performance as director Oscar Jaffee is awe-inspiring; Carole Lombard is equal to the task of pushing back against the man who, in a sense, created her. It's Frankenstein meets His Girl Friday; it's ninety minutes of screaming and yelling; it's filled with as many coincidences as a Wodehouse novel; it's a great portrait of theatrical types; and it's laugh-out-loud funny from the first scene to the last. Join us for a ride! Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Michael Morrison's John Barrymore, Shakespearean Actor tells the story of Barrymore's triumphs as Hamlet and Richard III, which informed his performance as the overly-dramatic Oscar Jaffee.

Did you ever wonder why the name "Jeeves" has always been inseparable from the concept of "a very good butler"? It's because of these short stories (plus more short stories, plus several novels) by English novelist P.G. Wodehouse. Hapless gadfly Bertie Wooster relies on his man Jeeves for just about everything, from clothing advice to getting his various dim-bulb friends out of money-related scrapes. And if they fight sometimes, that's OK, because Bertie always eventually realizes that Jeeves was right to be upset about whatever they were fighting about. This episode is sponsored by Squarespace.

It's no secret that young men are sort of unwell. They are four times more likely to kill themselves, three times more likely to struggle with addiction, and 12 times more likely to be incarcerated than women. If that weren't enough, record numbers of men are not getting married, not dating, not enrolling in school or working, and struggling with serious mental health issues. In response, a cottage industry has emerged—full of influencers and paid courses claiming to teach young men how to become “high value.” But there seems to be a deeper intractable challenge: Young people lack meaning. Fifty-eight percent of young adults say they've experienced little or no sense of purpose in their lives over the past month. Shilo Brooks has a simple idea for all of it. He's telling young men—and really, all young people—to read. Yes, read. The idea is simple: Reading great books can make stronger and better men. He knows he's facing an uphill battle: Reading for pleasure among American adults has dropped 40 percent in the past 20 years. In 2022, only 28 percent of men read a fiction book, compared to 47 percent of women—a 19-point gap.  Shilo doesn't have the stereotypical profile for a “lit boy,” as Gen Z might describe him. He's from a small town in Texas and has a thick Southern drawl. When he was a baby, his stepfather stole his mother's savings, leaving them with nothing. And he almost didn't go to college because he couldn't afford it.  But today, Shilo is president and CEO of the George W. Bush Presidential Center and Professor of Practice in the Department of Political Science at Southern Methodist University. He has also taught at Princeton, the University of Virginia, the University of Colorado, and Bowdoin College.  His prescription is simple. Shilo says: “Great works of literature are entertaining, but they are not mere entertainment. A great book induces self-examination and spiritual expansion. When a man is starved for love, work, purpose, money, or vitality, a novel wrestling with these themes can be metabolized as energy for the heart. When a man suffers from addiction, divorce, self-loathing, or vanity, his local bookstore can become his pharmacy.” This is the driving vision of the new podcast he just launched with The Free Press, called Old School, where he talks to guests about the books that shaped their lives: Fareed Zakaria on The Great Gatsby, Nick Cave on The Adventures of Pinocchio, Richard Dawkins on P.G. Wodehouse novels. Then there's Coleman Hughes, Ryan Holiday, Rob Henderson, and so much more. Think of it like a boy's book club that anyone can enjoy. So, here's what you'll hear today: a conversation between Bari and Shilo about this project, and how it fulfills the desperate needs of a lost generation. Subscribe to Old School with Shilo Brooks.
